A special project of PTP's President and Founder, Avon Mattison, PACEM was initiated in 1976 as a demonstration of Peace as practical service.
PACEM has been working within the business community for many years, attempting to bring the Spirit of Peace to the corporate heart. PACEM excels in realigning corporate structure to harmonize with mission or deep purpose. Such moral grounding awakens the spirit of cooperation and inspires new creativity in the members of the organization, boosting morale and productivity. When corporations recognize and work truly to benefit all their stakeholders, their profitability soars.
PACEM's range of services include:
- Consulting with international civil society organizations, developing internal Peacebuilding practices and cooperation
- Mentoring and educating young people in Peace leadership
- Consulting with the United Nations related to both the International Day of Peace and Peacebuilding, i.e. at UN conferences and summits
- Building Cultures of Peace along the eight pathways (see section about the Peace Wheel)
